QuoteReplyTopic: A Little Advice about Extentubes Posted: April 27 2005 at 5:15pm
Hi there guys, its four weeks now since I installed my bohyme hair extensions with shrinkies and extentubes. What I want your advice on is that I've noticed that a couple of the extentubes have slipped about an inch. Am I ok to just leave them as there is still enough of my own hair in them or do you think I should do myself a maintenance already xxxx Don't want to ruin what little hair I have. Tell you something. I'm glad I installed extensions before my wedding before like Kristen, because of the sun and a bad bleach experience last year the whole top section of my hair has broken off to about 2 1/2 inches long yikes xxx
Hmm...that seems like quite a bit of slippage for four weeks. Are they coming out at all or just slipping down a little?
Anyway, I would think you'd want to do a maintenance fairly soon, but
it doesn't sound like a crisis situation. Maybe you can replace them in
shifts--like 30 one week, 30 the next, and so forth. How many did you
install in total?
In general, how have the shinkies held in your hair compared to the extendtubes?
:)

Yeah I've had some that slipped on me before. If the tips are too
big they are more prone to slipping. So I'd open and move up the
slipping ones. But if you think that you have slightlylarger tips
in those you might want to switch to bigger tubes or smaller tips on
those....
Jenny - I've had about 12 shrinkies come out and 1 extentube in 4 weeks. I did cut the shrinkies in half though and I did wash my hair everyday for 2 weeks whilst I was on holiday. There are only about 5 in total that have slipped, all the others are perfect. I got my hubby to check to see if there was still plenty of hair in the ones that have slipped and he said yes. He said that its only the first row that have slipped so maybe its something to do with me brushing. I put in about 10 of Kristen's fusion glue extensions just in the sides and they are holding up brill too. I love the rings though. I wish they weren't so detectable in the sides of my hair.
Mocha - I made all my tips exactly the same size and they are really tiny as I have really fine hair. About 5 have slipped xxx

Five slipping an inch when you've been honeymoonin' isn't exactly crazy
to me. Undoubtedly salt and conditioner and untethered hair have
contributed. But they stayed put overall on your honeymooon so no
complaining right?
I think it's not unreasonable to open them slightly move them up clamp
them down again, and repeat every couple of weeks on the slipping
ones.
some people use the same rings over like t his for tighten ups unil the
ring just dies. Not me mind you. but moving it once for
slippage I've had no trouble with.
That's unfortunate about the 12 shrinkies.
I have a lot in a pile to reinstall when my life slows down a
bit. But I think you porbably have the technique down infinitely
better than I do.
Yeah I absolutely love the extentubes. I think I'm just going to move the few up that have slipped then rather than doing a whole maintenance, thanks for the advice Mocha x
